So next I will try installing and running Cygwin's X server (if I can even recall how to spell X :) and see if that makes things work better; however that "odd X dependency" would make me leery of adopting Cygwin Perl/Tk (as opposed to ActiveState, which I'm currently using) and I would certainly like to know how to follow up on that suggestion. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
